Maxims for Good and Bad Markets

With new tariff announcements grabbing the headlines during the past few weeks, global markets reacted sharply and spent time riding a volatile seesaw. Concerns about inflation and the possibility for a recession or trade war caused some anxiety for investors.

How to Manage

As we progress through this challenging roller-coaster of market volatility, it is important to remember Savant’s long-standing philosophical investment maxims. Established in 1993, we believe these maxims hold true when it comes to managing investments, regardless of market activity, and helping to plan ideal futures for our clients.

Six of our maxims across five key areas are highlighted below as important reminders to all of us. You can learn more about all 30 investment maxims here.

Use the Tools to Avoid the Hype

Today, Savant’s 30 investment maxims remain the bedrock of our investment philosophy. They guide our investment team and process. They are guardrails that attempt to keep you on the fairway and out of the rough. Sometimes this means Savant does not jump on the latest trends and ignores the media hype. While it may cause us to sometimes take a seemingly boring path, the maxims have guided our clients for more than 30 years. They remain an important tool to protect you and help you take advantage of timeless wisdom and avoid needless, speculative risk over the next 30 years and beyond.
